Anterior area of interest - a PA chest X-ray, a PA projection of the ribs, and a 45 degree Anterior Oblique with the non-interest side closest to the image receptor. Posterior area of interest - a PA chest X-ray, an AP projection of the ribs, and a 45 degree Posterior Oblique with the side of interest closest to the image receptor. Sternum.
There are three x-ray views in a complete ankle series: anteroposterior (AP), lateral, and oblique (or "mortise view"). The mortise view is an AP x-ray taken with the ankle internally rotated 15-20 degrees since the foot is naturally externally rotated relative to the ankle. [9]
Recommended x-ray views are (a) axial, (b) anteroposterior, (c) oblique and (d) views with dorsiflexion and internal rotation of the foot. However, conventional radiography is limited for visualization of calcaneal anatomy, especially at the subtalar joint.
After 6 weeks, partial weight-bearing functional exercises can be commenced. To monitor the progress of the correction of deformities and the positioning of the implant, AP, lateral, and oblique radiographs are performed immediately after surgery, at 6 weeks, and at 12 weeks. Subsequently, X-rays are taken every 3 months. During the last follow ...
A Jones fracture is a broken bone in a specific part of the fifth metatarsal of the foot between the base and middle part [8] that is known for its high rate of delayed healing or nonunion. [4] It results in pain near the midportion of the foot on the outside. [ 2 ]
X-ray, CT, or MRI scans can be used to diagnose the extent of the Maisonneuve fracture's damage and determine whether it is a simple or comminution fracture. [8] During diagnosis, a supination-external rotation pattern of injury may also be concluded if there is an isolated fracture of the posterior tubercle of the tibia.
Danis–Weber classification of ankle fractures (Types A, B and C) Danis–Weber classification on X-ray. The Danis–Weber classification (often known just as the Weber classification) is a method of describing ankle fractures. It has three categories: [1] Type A
On the lateral side is commonly a tubercle called the calcaneal tubercle (or trochlear process). This is a raised projection located between the tendons of the peroneus longus and brevis . It separates the two oblique grooves of the lateral surface of the calcaneus (for the tendons of the peroneal muscles).
